I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 171 Deep Sea (3)

This enormous creature, rising from the deep sea, stirred up waves.

The raging waves rolled on the sea, the sky was gloomy, and dark clouds blocked out the sun.

The psionic energy in the surrounding air was raging, and sparse raindrops were falling from the sky.

The ghost captain's figure appeared on the deck, looking up at the sky with a hint of sorrow on his face.

"Wizard, we may have encountered something big," the ghost captain said.

He wasn't sure if this wizard had the ability to solve problems.

Looking at the changing celestial phenomena around us, we knew that what we were encountering this time was definitely a truly massive creature.

The sea surface parted, and a colossal deep-sea monster, as large as an island, gradually rose from the seabed, the surging waves lifting the bow of the ghost ship high into the air.

Under the control of the ghost captain, the ghost ship remained firmly on the sea even when it tilted at nearly ninety degrees.

As the giant beast rose higher above the sea, its blue, shimmering eyes swayed slightly in the dim light.

"The Thousand-Eyed Whale—Phil," the ghost captain called out its name.

Lynn looked up at the giant beast in front of him and felt a bit of a problem.

This deep-sea behemoth of scale and size might have reached legendary levels. It's beyond his capabilities; if there's truly no other way, he'll have to use spatial magic to leave.

Just as Lynn thought he was about to make his move, the Thousand-Eyed Demon Whale suddenly stopped. Huge waves surged on the sea surface, and the next moment, the sea monster sank and disappeared from his sight.

Is it planning to lie in wait beneath the surface and then attack itself from the seabed?

The thought of that enormous maw, capable of swallowing an entire ship whole, opening from beneath the sea and devouring him clean in an instant was unbearable.

Lynn couldn't help but feel a little creeped out.

Even the deep blue ocean beneath my feet felt unsafe.

"It's gone," the ghost captain said, somewhat puzzled.

It could sense that Phil had left. Even though he had appeared right in front of it and was in a predatory state, he suddenly disappeared from the spot.

That's strange, what is Phil doing?

"Perhaps it's because of Messer?" Lynn pondered.

This deep-sea behemoth did not attack me for no reason. There are marks left by wizards on the ghost ship, which can repel and shield the deep-sea behemoth's senses.

In this vast ocean, the probability of being approached by a deep-sea monster is about the same as the probability of winning the lottery.

However, Lynn has a simple method.

The solution is simple: just ask the deep-sea behemoth.

Lynn jumped into the sea without hesitation.

After becoming a divine being, he could breathe freely even in the ocean.

The giant deep-sea creature, which was slowly sinking and retreating, suddenly sensed that the tiny human above it was chasing after it.

After hesitating for a moment, Phil stopped where he was.

As Lynn continued to descend, he noticed that the sunlight was getting dimmer and dimmer, and even the surrounding seawater was becoming increasingly deep.

This kind of environment is the greatest blessing for those with thalassophobia.

Lynn is preparing to experiment with a new spell he learned during his time on the airship from the Demon City to the island—Language Proficiency.

"Why do you have the aura of a god?" A childish voice echoed in Lynn's mind.

"Because... I know your God," Lynn said slowly.

The little guy was shocked to hear what Lynn said.

He never expected that there was this kind of relationship between him and Lynn.

This human actually knows its god.

Upon hearing Lynn's words, the thousand eyes on the back of the giant sea beast simultaneously glowed with a bright blue light.

Lynn squinted, examining the body of the deep-sea behemoth. It would be best to avoid conflict.

In Lynn's mental perception, the deep-sea behemoth before him was comparable in size to a medium-sized island.

"Why did you attack me?" Lynn asked.

"I just feel a fragrant smell coming from your ship, and I really want to eat it, but you have the mark of God on you, so I can't eat you," the deep-sea monster honestly replied.

It seems to be the mark that Messus left on himself.

But I smell nice on myself?

Lynn pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something, and his eyes darkened.

He looked back in the direction of the ship.

He wasn't the one who was secretly attacked, because he was, after all, a formal wizard, and if he wasn't careful, his so-called scheme might be exposed.

However, it's much more discreet if it's someone else.

"Can you do me a favor?"

Lynn spoke to the deep-sea behemoth.

"You're giving me that to eat?" The deep-sea behemoth's eyes lit up.

"Okay, I'll give it to you to eat, but you have to be good after you eat it," Lynn said gently.

The deep-sea behemoth hesitated for a long time, looking on indecisive. Seeing his hesitation, a hint of displeasure flashed in Lynn's eyes. "What are you struggling with?"

"The same thing the deity said to me last time, and then I was in pain for several days," the deep-sea behemoth said.

"."

Lynn cursed Mesthers under his breath for being so unreliable.

"No need. You just need to protect this ship for me. You can secretly follow it around. In at most two years, that's when the sun rises and sets 390 times."

"I know how long two years is!" the deep-sea behemoth said, somewhat angrily. "I'm educated!"

"Okay, sorry, I didn't expect you to be an educated sea monster," Lynn said.

"A long, long time ago, when I was just born, I was caught in a fishing net. The fisherman's son saved me. Later, he became the town's apothecary and told me many, many stories," the deep-sea behemoth said.

"That sounds pretty romantic," Lynn said. "Would you be willing to help me?"

Since this deep-sea behemoth received education when it was young, it makes sense. No wonder it felt more approachable to him compared to other deep-sea behemoths; it possessed a kind of "humanity" that was different from other animals.

"Then you have to give me that delicious food."

Lynn smiled. "Deal."

Lynn originally planned to find a way to speed things up and shorten the two-year journey to one and a half years.

But this might offend some people. However, since there are better free bodyguards available, there's no need to deliberately offend anyone.

Back on the ship, Lynn summoned all the wizard apprentices to the deck.

The apprentices were unaware of what was happening. When they came to the deck, they were terrified to see the "giant mountain" floating on the sea not far away.

Upon seeing such a massive deep-sea monster, the apprentices turned pale with fright.

"Who is it?" Lynn asked Phil, asking what had attracted it.

"Him!" The Thousand-Eyed Demon Whale's eyes suddenly shot out a beam of blue light, which enveloped an apprentice on the deck.

The apprentice was at a loss. He didn't know what had happened, but seeing the gloating looks on the faces of the others around him, he knew he had definitely gotten himself into big trouble.

"Lord Lynn, I really don't know anything, I really don't know anything at all," the apprentice said, kneeling on the ground.

"I know you probably don't know where you come from, which official wizard you're with, or whether you had any contact with any wizards before boarding the ship." Lynn looked around, then took out a bottle of Meditation Treasure 2.0 from his spatial ring. "This is a potion that improves meditation. Whoever can answer my questions can have this."

"My lord wizard, I know, I saw him talking to wizard Mardan," an apprentice quickly said.

The other apprentices who answered a little slower showed regret on their faces. Some of them knew the answer, but they were just a little slower to answer.

"Oh? Where does the wizard Mardan come from? Does anyone know his background?" Lynn asked.

The apprentices looked at each other with longing; clearly, this was a sensitive issue.

"This is an alchemical golem, capable of displaying the combat power of a level three wizard apprentice. It can automatically absorb free energy from the air to maintain its supply, and it can also absorb magic stones," Lynn said calmly.

"My lord wizard, I've heard that Wizard Mardan comes from the Kingdom of Erdoru."

Lynn understood immediately; that made sense!

He believed that he had always been kind to others and had hardly offended anyone, except for the noble wizard apprentices of the Kingdom of Erdoru.
